Suspected U.S. missile strike kills 7 in Pakistan
Source: CNN

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suspected U.S. missile strike killed seven people Wednesday in Pakistan's turbulent tribal region, a political official and an intelligence source told CNN.

At least two missiles hit two vehicles, the sources said, as they were about to cross a bridge. The strike happened in the evening near the village of Makeen in South Waziristan, according to the sources.

The sources asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

This development comes as the United States -- using unmanned drones -- has carried out several airstrikes inside Pakistan on suspected militant targets.

Obama: US will stay on offense in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he will make sure the United States stays "on the offensive" in the war in Afghanistan.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, the president did not divulge details of his administration's review of how to proceed in Afghanistan. The details of that review are expected to be announced shortly.

But Obama says the U.S. cannot allow "vicious killers" to have their way and establish a safe haven in Afghanistan. He said the U.S. will do what's required. The president also says he anticipates a more focused, disciplined and coordinated effort with other coalition forces in Afghanistan.

Obama says he understands how much the sacrifice of troops weighs on the public in the U.S. and in other nations

2. There is no difference between US and Taliban
both are bloodthirsty except that US is an educated terrorist nation while Taliban are uneducated.
